Changelog: Version 178

Rebalancing of Guild Dwelling Costs and for Unlocking the Guild Province
We listened to your feedback and strongly reduced the amount of creatures that you need to deliver in order to restore guild troop dwellings. We significantly lowered the amount of needed resources for restoring the portal to the guild province.
Those guilds that already constructed guild dwellings at the higher costs will receive a two level building upgrade for these dwellings, which means that more troops will be produced by this building.

Guild dwellings which were in maintenance befor the deployment on the 15th of July were causing a synchronization error. We ended the maintenance for all guild dwellings and set the building to active again. This allows the affected guilds to use their province again and play as usual in there.

PvP Seasons:
A new PvP season will start soon

New Guild Management Building
We added the new Guild Management Building to the Guild Province. It grants access to a new Section of the Guild Province with great new features as well as giving you advanced options to manage your Guild.

These are the new features that will be available to you once you found the Guild Management Building:

Advanced Guild Overview
In the Guild Management Building you will find a more detailed overview over the members of you Guild, including information like Raid Level, Heroic Tiers or Days since last Login. In this Overview you can also leave a Guild Note for all too see. This Information then can also be accessed from the regular Guild Menu.

Guild Mail
From the Guild Management Building you will be able to write Guild Mails that get send automatically to all members of your Guild. All Guild members have the right so send Guild Mails.

Guild Alliances + Guild Alliance Chat
In the Guild Management Building you can form an Alliance with up to 3 other Guilds that have founded the Guild Management Building as well. Allied Guild can share the new Alliance Chat Channel together. A Guild can only be part of one Alliance

4 new Troop Dwellings and Resource Trader
A restored Guild Management Building also gives access to a new section of the Guild Province where you can find the remnants of 4 additional Guild Troop Dwellings and the new Resource Trader. The Resource Trader accepts payments in Prestige Points and sells Gold, Wood, Ore, Crystals and Construction Licenses in exchange.

Other New Features

Expedition Log
A Guild Log has been added for Expeditions. You can find the log in the Expedition Details, it lets you track the progress and contribution of each Guild Member to this expedition.

New Ability Reset License and Expedition License
We added two new Licenses to the Shop: The Ability Reset License lets you reset your Hero Abilities for free as long as it is active. The Expedition License only works in Expeditions and it allows you to block the reappearance of Encounters for free for the duration of the License.

Revive Option in Forgotten Sites
A Revive Button has been added to the Forgotten Sites that lets you revive Creatures that died in battle for Hero Seals. Its cost depends on the amount of Creatures you revive.

Changes to Scrolls
The Scrolls for the following Abilities have been completely removed from the game: Feeble Mind, Interdiction, Painful Bond, Taunting, Life Drain. Scrolls you already own are not affected and will remain in your inventory until you use them. The Scroll of Regeneration can now only be found in the Shop.
